Testimonials

At APU, I was able to combine being a mom and a student – and succeed at both. Helenjene Curtis 2008 Graduate, B.A., in Psychology

I liked the fact that APU was a school with a solid reputation that was also affordable. I benefited from many of APU’s policies— especially transfer credits and the ability to cover most of my course fees using tuition assistance. I chose to invest in my education to develop myself as a premier information operations professional, specifically in the network warfare arena. My career has included service milestones at the Pentagon, tsunami relief, the Gulf War, and Kosovo operations.
